Artist: Gangi

On "Gold," LA psych duo GANGI march forward with some hyper-melodic, winding, singalong pop. There's an anthemic quality to the track – a largeness to the crunching drums, distorted guitars and multi-tracked vocals that's representative of their new album gesture is , which is available October 2 on Office Of Analogue And Digital . GANGI - Gold

What is the gesture? I have no idea, but the LA-based psych duo GANGI will release their second full-length album, gesture is, on October 2nd through their label, Office of Analogue and Digital. The duo has released the new single, “Gold”. Check it out after the jump. GANGI Tour Dates 09/22 Apple Valley, [...]

• FILTER Magazine - GANGI, "Gold"

Not too long ago I brought you a track from Gangi , but it was a slow, sprawling sort, unfolding gloriously over a short span.  This new tune, "Gold," is a little bit different, with what feels like a similar approach that one would find on Arcade Fire recordings, using backing vocals in gang form and piling on layers of instrumentation.  Again, you can find this tune on the group's upcoming record, Gesture Is , which will be coming out on October 2nd via Office of Analogue and Digital [...]

• GANGI - Gold

With their substantial experience of music production, and a record label of their own (Office of Analog and Digital), sticking to DIY was an obvious choice for Matt Gangi & Eric Chramosta, the two members of the now LA-based growing psych-synth-rock force Gangi , who on October 2nd will be releasing a first album, ' gesture is ', as the aforementioned duo. The first couple of tracks being already available to stream (listen below!), one can get a taste of what the collaboration between these two longtime friends will amount to: with this skilfully built up dialogue between past [...]

Been vibing to this psych-pop track from new duo GANGI called "Railways nos. 1-273. It's a nice blend of spaced-out blissfulness and retro musicianship, combining new era electro-funk with organic instrumentation straight out of the 70s. Do I know a whole lot about GANGI? Nope. Am I going to check out there new album gesture is when it drops? Yep. Especially if it sounds anything like the below track!

Gangi - Railways nos. 1-27 I met Matt Gangi many moons ago, when people still used MySpace to communicate about music ideas. He was a DIY pirate making wild noises from beat up old synths, traveling show out of the back of a dusty road worn sedan and playing PBR-soaked basements. His sounds made a big impression on me and stuck with me all these years.  Stoked to see that Matt and his creative partner Eric Chramosta are still in the game - writing quality tunes like this out of their [...]

LA's GANGI have always been a band we really have felt could make some noise in the indie world once they were able to focus their sound and find a more solid identity of what they are. This is not to say we didn't enjoy the material the duo was churning out, but we just felt that their influences were so expansive that they were still trying to get a better feel for what direction they were going to go. Now, it appears that they are ready to take that next step with [...]

It's always amazing to me what modern recordings processes can do for a duo; you know, things that couldn't be done as easily in the 60s.  My newest discovery is LA duo Gangi , who've got a little bit of a psych bent on their tunes.  They'll soon be releasing their second LP, Is Gesture , on October 2nd via Office of Analogue and Digital .  Not only am I stoked upon the groove coming here, but I'm really digging the way the group is looping the vocals-which is [...]

LA psych duo GANGI have announced the release of their second album, gesture is, and they're making quite the gesture with the album's lead single, "Railways nos. 1-273, that may cause heart flutters with its heavy drumming and send you into a state of nirvana with its swirling layers of sound and echoed vocals. Prepare [...]

• GANGI - Railways nos. 1-27

Gangi's "Railways no. 1-273 is one of those sound collages that threatens go off the tracks and at any minute but never quite does. The spacey, sample-added excursion is the lead track on the L.A. duo's sophomore album "Gesture Is," which will finally be released on Oct. 2. We say "finally" because it's taken Matt Gangi and Eric Chramosta a minute to wrap up plans for the release, which appeared imminent back in January when Montana Casey's great video for "Outside Ones" made its debut. Whatever the timing, "Gesture Is" reveals Gangi's flair for the experimental and [...]

Her yer buram buram adaletsizlik kokuyor. Çivisi çıkmış bir dünyanın hayata ulumalar eşliğinde vedası. Dillerde padişahım sen çok yaşa nidaları. Tıpkı Sartre'ın dediği gibi: "Yasa bakımından, hepimiz aynı düşünce özgürlüğüne sahibiz. Ama, gerçekte, açlıktan, soğuktan ölen bir kimse için düşünce özgürlüğünün ne anlamı olur? Ya da okuduğu gazeteler taraflı ya da danışıklı iseler, haber alma ve verme işleri özgür değilse, ya da kafaları şişirip altüst etmek amacıyla yapılan çatışmaların sürekli baskısı altında kalırsa, o kimse için düşünce özgürlüğünün de anlamı mı kalır?" Şairin söylediği [...]

With the seasonal holiday of May Day upon us and the Occupy everywhere mobilizing back into gear, our friend Matt Gangi just finished an uplifting video to support both the 99% and International Workers Day proper. For the video for "Gold" Gangi presents the masses taking it to the streets from footage rich with Occupy dissenters galore. "Time for a hold up, the banks have run dry," Matt sings you are drawn into his survey of protests clashing with authorities amid his global...

April departs with a busy Monday: ► Remember when guitar bands had platinum records? Eve 6 does. The L.A. pop-punk trio was selling records in droves before they were old enough to drink, but in 2004 after a platinum album (19982s "Eve 63), a gold record (20002s "Horrorscope") and a disappointing third album (20032s "It's All in Your Head"), they went away. Now Max Collins, John Siebels and Tony Fagenson are back with "Speak in Code" (out last week), and their radio-friendly hooks seem sharp as ever. The girls-going-wild single "Victoria" may not be [...]

Nine SoCal bands are playing Buzz Bands LA's "Dear Austin: Love, L.A." day party next Wednesday on the first day of the South by Southwest Music Festival. It seems like 999 SoCal bands are actually headed to Austin. When we started culling music from those artists, our uploader begged for for mercy. So we called upon old friend Kay Randolph (who had storage in his Soundcloud account) to assemble  "LA x SXSW x 44," a mix featuring a selection of tunes that some of the participating bands have made available for download. Check out the mix below. [...]
